When I Die, pass away or become incapacitated

😇 I want you to know this about my end-of-life planning

This site is under construction. If you want to know more, you can email me: aad@whenidieman.com

Death doesn't discriminate by age or any other fatal life event.
We will all die some day and leave relatives and friends behind that are in shock, in pain, sad, grieving.
They are left with the task of taking care of the affairs of their loved one.
They probably know very little of how that loved one was trying to take care of his or her affairs.
Or how to get to or find the relevant information now he or she is gone.
As our world has become ever more complex, it can take a lot of effort to gather all this information in a timely manner. If that is even possible.
This app is an attempt to make it easier to manage all the information for a household in one place.
If kept 'up to date', it will provide a helpful starting point for the execution of your estate.
It will also be helpful in your daily life because you have all the information you saved at your fingertips.
You will be able to find accounts, passwords, documents and other resources.

Managing your family, relations and contacts information will make it easier to inform or notify people by:

  • creating letters and sending them by email
  • create the labels for the letters to send by mail

By listing all your family members and their relationships you can also create a 'family tree'.
This creates an visual overview of who is related to whom and what their details are.

Contacts are often on an user's phone, but the full details are not always entered.
This app will let you import your contacts, review and select which ones are important to you, complete their details and mark them to be notified in case something happens to you.

Most U.S. states now follow the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA), which governs how a deceased person’s digital accounts may be accessed. Under this law, individuals can give legally valid instructions about who may manage their digital assets after death, and online service providers must follow those instructions when properly documented.
Many major technology companies also offer their own tools for designating who may access certain data after death. These provider‑specific settings usually take priority over instructions in a will.
If someone dies without naming a person to manage their digital assets, access may be limited. Service providers are generally required to give only the minimum information needed to settle the estate unless the user gave explicit consent during life.
Because so much of daily life now depends on digital accounts, passwords, and online services, including digital assets in one’s estate planning has become increasingly important.
In the 'Account Manager' you can organize your digital accounts and manage the data.

  • Online or digital accounts
  • Financial accounts
  • Crypto accounts

An executor of an estate should have a record of the testator's/testatrix online presence to deactivate accounts or end subscriptions that are not necessary anymore.
So the 'Online Account' manager is more than just another password manager.
It will give the executor of an estate access to all the account information of a deceased member of a household.

So remember to designate someone to take care of your digital accounts in case of death or becoming incapacitated!

It can be a real hassle to get access to online accounts and in most cases you are not allowed to use their username and password.
As an estate owner you can provide each online account with a detailed description to make it easier for an executor to get access.

List and manage your Assets, Liabilities, Cashflow, Financial Institutions and other forms of asset accounts.
This will be valuable information for the executor to:

  • quickly evaluate the current state of affairs
  • resume payments
  • avoid defaults
  • end subscriptions
  • where possible to avoid probate
  • etc.

Unless you are very organized, it can become a real hassle to get a hold of all the important documents:

  • Where are your important documents?
  • Are the originals stored in a safe location?
  • Where is that location and who can access this?

These are all important questions when you die or become incapacitated.
In this app's 'Document Manager' you can upload copies of these documents in different formats: PDF, png, jpg, etc. and indicate where the originals are stored.

You can organize your uploaded document in the 'Document Vault', then view or download them, save locally or email them to someone.

There might be things that you want to express or make clear to those you leave behind like:

  • Instructions
  • wishes
  • your executor
  • beneficiaries
  • etc.

And you might even want to create a to do list of the things that still needs to do to finish your estate planning or point to others who could perform certain tasks that are needed for the execution of the estate.

Here you find a list of resources to quickly find information or services to help manage the execution of an estate.
You can add your own resources to the list that you find helpful to yourself and others.

The glossary provides information to users about all kinds of important subjects and terms around death or becoming incapacitated.

What ever else needs to be included! => To be continued!
